Good evening.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

As soon as you begin to compare what you are with some idealized concept of yourself, you automatically feel guilty. Until you work with your beliefs, this guilt can be initiated by the most harmless episodes and characteristics. It is a good idea to write down a list of specific acts or incidents that fill you with a sense of guilt. Often you will be able to trace them to early childhood beliefs quite easily — some instilled by a well-meaning parent to protect you, or out of an adult’s ignorance. Brought into the open, however, many of these will dissolve before your comprehension.

Jane’s trance had been good, her delivery even and rather quiet. “You know,” she said, “I thought this book was going to go longer, but I’ve got the funny nostalgic feeling that Seth’s going to end it real soon.

I felt the same way about Seth Speaks; the end always shocks me.” I told her that I thought Seth would close out the book tonight.

Before you embark upon other journeys of consciousness, understand that your beliefs will follow you and form your experience there as they do here. If you believe in demons you will meet them — in this life as enemies, and in other realms of consciousness as devils or “evil spirits.”

(Pause at 11:00.) Trust no person who tells you that you are evil or guilty by reason of your nature or your physical existence, or any such dogma. Trust no one who leads you away from the reality of yourself. (Long pause, eyes closed.) Do not follow those who tell you that you must do penance, in whatever form. Trust instead the spontaneity of your own being and the life that is your own. If you do not like where you are, then examine those beliefs that you have. Bring them out into the open. There is nothing within yourself to fear.

(“Thank you very much, Seth. Good night.”
